Why is Final Fantasy VII the only one that has any cultural legacy whatsoever
>>
of course, the "no cultural legacy" poster is a demake retard
>>
Because it was the one on the ps1 early on.
Popularity doesnt come from merit, it comes from being at the right place in the right time

why is every final fantasy thread just a dump of the same ugly gook porn?
>>
>>746088531
Because the only faggots that give a shit about the demake anymore are porn addicts

you need to stop pretending people gooning to tifa is cultural relevance, or what the value of that relevance is when it's no different to people jerking it to lara croft of overwatch characters. you think they are all buying tomb raider games and telling themselves their cum tributes are part of culture?

because it's the worst one but it came out at the right time
same reason people like SM64 or Ocarina of Time
>>
>>746088362
Because it was shilled as Playstation's answer to Ocarina of Time, even though it basically just a SNES JRPG with longer load times rather than a meaningful evolution of anything.

Gaming went through a couple demographic expansions where a bunch more people picked up the hobby nearly simultaneously because graphics passed certain "good enough" thresholds in the eyes of more people.
FF7 is the first one to come out after such a graphical tier was passed.
FF4 and FF13 also fit this criteria. However, FF4 was too early and the total number of people interested in games wasn't high enough yet for significant cultural impact. And in FF13's case, the game kinda just sucks.
>But what about FF10?
FF10 is a victim of a shift in cultural zeitgeist. Gaming didn't only expand during the era, the *type* of person who was becoming a gamer also changed (shifted towards dudebros) so the game with the biggest cultural impact from the era was Halo and a Japanese RPG like FF10 doesn't fit that view of the era.
Yes, who was playing games during the 360/PS3/Wii era was also a shift compared to earlier gens, but FF13 actually kind of got the new audience right by being more "movie game". It got the demographic shift right and it's problem really is that it just sucks.

Beyond the HD gen, graphics actually haven't had a big enough leap to cause the same sudden jump in gamer population again.

... Both of those games redefined their genres entirely you fucking retarded zoomer. Yeah, they're worse like the Model T is worse (if you even know what the fuck that is).
